WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: LOS ANGELES CIVIC AND COMMUNITY LEADERS APPLAUD MAYOR BASS’ FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 CITY BUDGET AND EFFORTS

Lana McLeod, Founder and CEO, Networking Options for Women (N.O.W)

“Budgets are always reflections of our priorities, and Mayor Karen Bass’ proposed budget is a clear blueprint for how we can move Los Angeles forward and build communities that work for all of us. This budget proposal invests in addressing the homelessness crisis, providing mental health and addiction services for those in need, and creating safe and clean public spaces for all to enjoy, reflecting the community values of Angelenos. I commend Mayor Bass for her tireless commitment and effective leadership style.”
